Reporting guidelines for proteomics

The context-sensitive nature of transcriptome, metabolome and proteome data necessitates the capture of a richer set of metadata (data about the data) than is required for basic genetic sequence, where usually knowing the organism of origin will suffice. The use of paper citations as proxies for actual metadata hinders the reassessment of data sets, and obstructs non-standard searching (e.g.
